Just when I was all set to get the JVC High Def camcorder, Sony comes out with this beauty!!! Check out the facial recognition feature on the play back!!! How cool is that??? Wonder why only Canadians are getting the HDR-SR8?

Now I have to wait till July! Hopefully it wont be like Rainbow 6 Vegas and they keep bumping back the release date every month!!!

Re: SONY'S NEW High Def, 100Gig Hard drive Camcorder!!!

Yeah, my bad. SHould of put it in the off topic. But I was thinking in terms of using my PS3 to store my favorite videos I would be taking with this High Def camcorder. Its a waste of money if you dont have a 1080p TV, then just get a regular camcorder.

I love the fact that I wouldn't have to chage tapes, I can also use it as a 6 megapixel camera as well!! So two in one. I have a Sharp Aquos D92 Series, 1080p HDTV and I think this cam, shooting at 1080i would make for some great videos that if I'm using my PS3, eventualy I'll be able to share those vids using my PS3.

It's an expensive video camera yes, but I like quality gear and I have the money to buy these things so I'm gonna get it! I'll let you know how good it looks when I get it. I think it comes out in June or July.
